How can they plan and carry out extracurricular activities? It is difficult to learn these practices simply by studying text books.The 1,000-hour Experiential Program immerses students in hands-on experiences where they meet and talk with people, especially with children from the communities surrounding Shimane University. This special program consists of two subprograms: “Introduction to the Practicum,” which puts students in direct contact with children in various environments and the “Practical Education Program,” where students practice teaching at school and develops and enhances basic skills in clinical psychology, including counseling.The profile sheet system provide both an objective evaluation and a self-assessment of students’ accumulated experiences, accompanied by radar charts.The Program for the Natural Science & Environmental Education-Kankyo TerakoyaChildren’s “losing interest in science” is now a major social problem. We have this special program so that teachers can become well-versed in the natural sciences and environmental education.By developing their basic knowledge concerning the natural sciences and the physical environment, students can learn how to plan and carry out diverse activities and experiments relating to natural science education. The program also cultivates their leadership skills. We intend for graduates to be able to arouse children’s interest in the natural sciences and the environment.Faculty of Education
